Congrats to a Local Great

Franz Swinton Champ

Thu, 09/13/2012

Franz Swinton is a friend, a co-worker and a goddamn champ, he's been on fire in the competition circuit this year. He won the 2012 Grey Goose Pour Masters competition recently here in Calgary, and just smashed the Bombay Sapphire Comp in Vegas; thats just naming a couple this year.  He will soon be representing Canada & Calgary at the Worlds in Tuscany, all the while sporting a bad ass wardrobe from GQ Magazine, one of the Bombay Sapphire comp's sponsors.

I work with Franz at Anejo, until his bar Brix & Morsel & Cube opens, can't wait!  It is a honor to work and learn from the best, Congrats Franz!!! I wish I had the recipe from the Bombay Comp but here's the one from his Grey Goose win, looks delicious!

Flamiche Flip 

1oz Grey Goose Vodka 

.5 oz Lillet Blanc 

.5 oz Cointreau 

1 egg 

0.5 oz lemon 

0.5 oz fennel syrup 

3 dashes Peychaud bitters 

Nutmeg

You can find Franz shaking up wicked drinks at Anejo, then we'll all have to go check him out at cube when the time comes.  Congrats again bud!
